Firstly are nannies expensive?
And secondly do you feel that sure of yourself that you are willing to trust a total stranger with your babies?
I was talking about nannies this morning with my hubbie while my mil was here and she works in the professional field herself, she is a councellor and teacher for writing, and she looked at me horrified and said -
"Is working that important to you that you could think of dumping your kids off on a total stanger"!!!
Then before I answered she proceeded to tell me how she did this to her own kids, which I knew about, as she was a very ambitious women and her work came before her own family, so she tells me how she regrets it now the kids are grown and they still bring it back on her how she was never there for them. My hubbie hates her for that and so does his sister.
I wasnt even thinking about doing it to my own children, I was only discussing plans for when I start attending births when I start working as Doula, which could be anytime now I am studying. It was just a passing thought.
I need to make some back up plans as hubbie wont be working from home till next year.
What do you think about Nannies?
Does it worry yu with how much terrible things happen to children nowadays by nannies as any tom, dee or harry can be a nanny now. Would you be too scared to risk it even though the agency recommended them, would you put your kids lives at stake and be trusting?
I just dont know, its a HUGE thing to think about.
